Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The side-splittingly hilarious new book from Sunday Times bestselling author, rugby icon, and stag do in human form, James Haskell. It's 2021 and James is at a crossroads. His glittering international rugby career that took him from England to New Zealand and France - including 77 caps for England - is over. What will he do now? What is his purpose in life? In Ruck Me, James sets out on a voyage of self-discovery speaking to ex-colleagues, friends and family, reflecting on his career and diving into some of his most memorable personal anecdotes to date. But what started out as a search for understanding and meaning soon turns into a - let's face it, sometimes warranted - chastisement opportunity with James directly in the firing line. Turns out he has a lot of work to do... As funny as it is outrageous, this brilliant book acts as a lesson on how (not) to retire gracefully and move forward. And ruck me - you won't want to miss it.
Download or read book Loose Head written by Joe Marler and published by Random House. This book was released on 2020-10-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SHORTLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH RUGBY BOOK OF THE YEAR The truth about being a rugby player from the horsey's mouth. This book is not just about how a psychiatrist called Humphrey helped me get back on my horse and clippity-clop all the way to the World Cup semi-final in Japan. It's the story of how a fat kid who had to live up to the nickname Psycho grew up to play and party for over a decade with rugby's greatest pros and live weird and wonderful moments both in and out of the scrum. That's why I'm letting you read my diary on my weirdest days. You never know what you're going to get with me. From being locked in a police cell to singing Adele on Jonathan Ross (I'll let you decide which is worse), being kissed by a murderer on the number 51 bus to drug tests where clipboard-wielding men hover inches away from my naked genitalia, melting opponents in rucks, winning tackles, and generally losing blood, sweat and ears in the name of the great sport of rugby. This is how (not) to be a rugby player.

Download or read book Leather Soul written by Bob Murphy and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘A young, naive kid, with a brand-new football. Over time, the leather aged from the bumps along the trail. The Footscray winters and some glorious liniment-scented afternoons. All of the laughs, the scraps, the yarns and characters. The game. It all left a mark on me, on my soul.’ Bob Murphy has never been a typical footballer. Music buff, Age columnist and Winnebago driver, he is as comfortable in a quiet corner of a Fitzroy café or the front bar of a grungy pub as he is in the locker room. Murphy takes the reader inside his 17-year career, including his three years as captain of the Bulldogs, exploring the people, places and events that shaped him: from playing backyard cricket in 1980s Warragul to Community Cup with Paul Kelly in the 2000s, and from the joy of marrying his high-school crush to the agony of a season-ending ACL ruptures. How did the country kid with a gypsy’s heart become an All-Australian captain? What’s it like to have your club win the grand final for the first time in 62 years and have to cheer from the sidelines? How does it feel to realise you can no longer do the things that made you great? The celebrated Australian football bard Martin Flanagan has long insisted Bob Murphy has a book in him like no footballer has written. Leather Soul proves him right.

Book Synopsis Fighting in the Shade by : Sterling Watson
Download or read book Fighting in the Shade written by Sterling Watson and published by Akashic Books. This book was released on 2011-07-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A brilliant, fearless look at the savage rites of passage that exist in the fraternity of American sports . . . gripping and unforgettable.” —Dennis Lehane, author of Mystic River In 1964, seventeen-year-old Billy Dyer is a newcomer to Oleander, a Gulf Coast Florida town whose old guard define football as the ancient Spartans did their Agoge. It is a mode of brutal tutelage that forges the hearts and minds of the town’s elite youth for a future of power. Billy’s parents are recently divorced and he lives in a bad neighborhood with his secretive, alcoholic father. Through the brutal and fiery days of summer practice, Billy fights for a starting spot on the team, the Spartans. He makes the team, but in a horrific hazing scene far from the town, he rebels and in the process badly injures his rival for the flanker position. The events that follow force Billy into exile from football, then later back into the game when powerful men realize that the Spartans cannot win without him. “Fighting in the Shade is less a sports novel than a coming-of-age story wound around a mystery, with football as symbol and symptom.” —St. Petersburg Times “A powerful, beautifully written book about attitudes and practices that we want to believe are safely in the past. Instead, as Watson reminds us, corruption and cruelty survive through their uncanny ability to take on new shapes.” —Laura Lippman, New York Times–bestselling author “High school football mixes with Faust in this blitz of a novel from Watson . . . a big Dennis Lehane-like story of society, opportunity, and consequences, revealing Watson as an accomplished storyteller.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
Book Synopsis NL Snowmageddon 2020 by : Nick Cranford
Download or read book NL Snowmageddon 2020 written by Nick Cranford and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-04 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On January 17, 2020, Newfoundland and Labrador experienced one of the worst blizzards in its history. Life came to a screeching halt. Entire roads and cars were buried, people became trapped in their homes, and a week-long state of emergency was just one more surprise Mother Nature had in store for the people of the province. The record-breaking snowstorm, which the media labelled "Snowmageddon," came to test the resilience of Newfoundland. But as you will see throughout this book, Newfoundlanders are made of sterner stuff. What makes a Newfoundlander? Newfoundlanders themselves are sometimes hard pressed to provide an explanation. But NL Snowmageddon 2020 gives us the answer once and for all. "On January 17, the City of St. John"s experienced an unprecedented storm. The snowfall that week left us with no choice but to declare a state of emergency, the city's first in thirty-four years. The week following was very challenging for residents and business owners in St. John's, with travel prohibited, then restricted, before the state of emergency could be lifted more than a week later. City snow clearing crews put in tremendous hours and effort to get our roadways clear and were supported in that work by municipalities from across the province, the provincial government, and private contractors. Our Armed Forces came to the aid of our more vulnerable, offering snow shovelling support, and the community rallied together to ensure that those in need had food and supplies as the days of the storm wore on. "I saw this city I call home in its worst state, certainly in my memory, but I also saw this city at its best during Snowmageddon--neighbours helping neighbours, communities playing in the snow, people advocating for the most needy. As mayor, I will forever be grateful for the extraordinary efforts of our staff during this significant event, those who came to our aid, and most of all to the residents and business owners for their resilience and strength." -- Danny Breen, Mayor of St. John"s "Snowmageddon 2020 will go down as one of the biggest weather events we've experienced in Newfoundland in many years, certainly a reminder of the power of Mother Nature. I would like to focus on the amazing display of humanity and kindness that I witnessed throughout this whole ordeal. It was truly remarkable. With its many stories of camaraderie, resilience, and indomitable human spirit, Snowmageddon 2020 truly brought out the best in people and renewed my faith in humanity." -- Paul Lane, Member of the House of Assembly, Mount Pearl-Southlands

In Fights, Film, and Folkore, TR analyzes the physical side of the game, brings us up to speed on what he's doing these days, and of course tells more stories about his unpredictable but entertaining life. He recounts fighting with the likes of Tie Domi, Darren Langdon, and Trevor Gillies, partying with stars like Gord Downie, Wesley Snipes, and Dennis Rodman, working on film sets with Ethan Hawke and Aquaman himself, Jason Momoa, and everything in between.
